Indonesia - Surabaya Humanitarian Assistance Project

Sister Hana with some of the children she has rescued

Indonesia,
2005

This is Hana Ananda, or Ibu (Sister) Hana as she is called in Indonesia. Ibu Hana runs a charity called
Pondok Kasih in Surabaya, Indonesia. Surabaya is the country’s second
largest city, and home to millions of poor people. Ibu Hana’s service
is to the poorest of the poor in Surabaya. She has been called the
“Mother Teresa” of Indonesia because of her indiscriminate love for
poor and sick people of all ages, shapes and sizes.

HISG has partnered with Ibu Hana and
Pondok Kasih since 2005. Ibu Hana distributes food to thousands of people
each week; her foundations include an elderly home, an orphanage,
several low-cost health clinics in poor neighborhoods and a community
center that is thriving, where two other organizations failed. This
community center provides health and hygiene classes, English classes,
computer training, and trade skills training for people in the area.

For Ibu Hana, the driving force is
her love for the people. HISG personnel spent time with Ibu Hana in Surabaya and
watched her hug and help orphans, widows, sick children, homeless
people and inmates at a mental hospital. Because of her history of
helping the most helpless members of every community, she is welcomed
in dangerous slums where other charities will dare not visit.

HISG is proud to partner with Ibu
Hana and support the work she is doing for the people of
Indonesia. If you would like to help with this project, please contact HISG.
